Chapter 46 Please leave the house
On the way to Shouxi Hall, Mengxi casually asked about Hongzhu:
"If you want to get out of the Xiao Mansion, are there any rules?"
Hongzhu was taken aback and hurriedly asked:
"Does the second grandmother want to get out of the Xiao Mansion?"
"No, I'm just asking"
"If the second grandmother wants to go out of the house, she only asks the second master, and let the second master take you out."
After Hongzhu finished speaking, seeing that the second grandmother bowed her head and was silent, remembering that she and the second grandmother respected each other like ice, how could the second master take her out of the house, looking at the delicate and weak second grandmother, she felt pity, thought about it and said:
"The second grandmother can also ask the old lady, as long as the old lady is approved, the second grandmother can go out, but the rules in the house are extremely strict, there is no special thing, and the old lady can rarely be allowed to ......"
As he was talking, he had come to the Shouxi Hall, the sedan chair stopped, Hongzhu got up and got off the sedan chair, stretched out his hand to help the second grandmother get off the sedan chair, there was already a maid in and out, Hongzhu carried the second grandmother into the door, turned the screen, raised his eyes and saw that everyone had already arrived, Mengxi stepped forward to the old lady, the eldest lord, and the eldest lady to say goodbye, and gave the uncle, the eldest grandmother, and Xiao Yun to see the salute, and then sat down under the eldest grandmother.
After the old lady waited for Mengxi to sit down, she carefully looked at her face and said, "I heard that Xi'er fainted yesterday, didn't you say that if you are not in good health, don't you come to say goodbye?" is only waiting for a good handsome child in the courtyard, why is it here again? ”
"Back to the old lady, the granddaughter-in-law just walked in the garden for a long time yesterday, suffered from heat stroke, not in the way, yesterday I drank the medicine, and slept all night, this time I am already better, the granddaughter-in-law is not filial, and the old lady is worried"
"It's okay, Xi'er just pay attention not to work too hard"
"Thank you for your concern"
"Old Taijun, they are all young people, not so noble, let the old lady worry, it is unfilial, don't spoil her"
The eldest lady was very uncomfortable when she heard the old lady say this, and raised her head and said.
The old lady glanced at the eldest lady and said nothing.
The eldest lady saw that the old lady was silent, so she motioned to the maid to set the meal.
Xiao Yun looked at the weak and helpless second sister-in-law with a complicated expression, thinking that the second brother had a seizure at the second sister-in-law yesterday, how fortunate the second brother was to marry such a beautiful woman, but he didn't know how to cherish it, and at that time he wanted to use his broad chest to shelter her from the wind and rain, but the person who protected the flowers should not be him, thinking of the cold face of the second brother, he clenched his fists weakly.
Mengxi saw that the eldest lady was passing the rice, got up and helped the old lady to sit at the dining table, watched the maid put the dishes one by one, pointed to a plate of dishes, and said softly:
"I heard that the old lady is going to fast for three days, and the granddaughter-in-law specially made a few vegetarian dishes for the old lady today, the old lady, this dish is called straw mushroom fried winter bamboo shoots, first pick and wash the straw mushrooms, use high heat to fry the winter bamboo shoots into the pot slightly, that is, put in the vegetable juice soup, straw mushrooms, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, change to low heat after boiling, burn until the straw mushrooms are flavorful, dilute them with wet starch, and then pour some sesame oil to become, the old lady compensates, how about the granddaughter-in-law's craftsmanship?" As he spoke, he took a small piece of grass and put it on the old lady's plate.
Mengxi saw that the old lady had eaten, nodded incessantly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to introduce the other dishes she made, and gave them to the old lady one by one, and then gave the old man and the eldest lady dishes, and when the meal ran out, the family looked at the leftovers on the table again, and not only secretly said: Why does everyone eat vegetarian with the old lady, and the few vegetarian dishes made by Mengxi have bottomed out again.
Removed the table, the old lady and the others sat down again, because the uncle Xiao Qing was leaving tomorrow, the eldest lady rarely did not go out, the eldest lady was also here to accompany her, re-served tea, and began to gossip, nothing more than telling the uncle to go out, pay attention to safety, be careful in everything, be honest as an official outside, and tell the eldest grandmother to serve the uncle well, the old lady saw Mengxi sitting there without saying a word, thinking that she was tired, so she said:
"Xi'er is not in good health, let's go back early"
Mengxi saw the old lady talking to her, and walked forward and said lightly:
"Granddaughter-in-law Xie Lao Taijun cherishes, granddaughter-in-law is not tired, old Taijun, now that the second master and his illness have been cured, and there is a red jade waiting, granddaughter-in-law wants to ask the old lady for permission to go out of the house for a walk"
When the eldest man heard this, he shook his head, did not speak, and only drank the tea.
When the eldest lady heard this, her face immediately sank, and she said in her heart: It's only been a few days, and her man is still sick, and she doesn't want to serve well, so she wants to go out of the house to go shopping, no wonder it is rumored in Pingyang City that this woman is pampered and willful, she is really a fox spirit who does not abide by women's morals, and she is angry, but because her mother-in-law is sitting there, it is not good to have a seizure.
The old lady listened, but also slightly stunned, secretly thought: This Xi'er really doesn't know what to do, a few days after the door to make this kind of request, the big family has this rule, open their mouths to refuse, raise their eyes to see Mengxi's cowardly appearance, and can't bear it, this Mengxi is deeply pleased, often tell some jokes to make her happy, especially when it's okay to press her back, that's called comfortable, often send some delicious dishes, just like this morning, the eldest lady didn't think about being vegetarian, but Xi'er wanted to make a few delicious meals to honor her.
Looking at Mengxi with a complicated expression, thinking of her concubine background, thinking of Zu Xun, this granddaughter-in-law will be retired sooner or later, and she is a little reluctant in her heart, feeling that although the Li family is a concubine, it is hateful, but after all, it is not Mengxi's intention, I think she is also forced to marry on her behalf, who wants to marry a terminally ill person Chongxi! It's just a pitiful victim, thinking of this, I sighed secretly, it's just that, seeing that her time in my Xiao Mansion is short, just let her go, let her be happy for a few days.
Mengxi looked at the old lady's eyes more and more deep, and she couldn't figure out the old lady's thoughts, but when she saw her sitting there silent for a long time, she knew that her request was sloppy and out of compliance, and just wanted to confess, but the old lady spoke:
"Left and right Jun'er is out of the way these days, but it's weaker, slowly recuperate, and there is red jade waiting, Xi'er goes out for a walk, tomorrow I go to the account room to pay some silver taels, I can buy anything new, but Xi'er is outside, I should always pay attention to my words and deeds, don't follow the rules, and make people laugh at my Xiao family's lack of strict governance."
The old lady agreed to Mengxi's request.
These words were like a thunderbolt, shocking all the people present, including Mengxi, she saw that the old lady hesitated, she thought it would not be done, but she didn't expect that not only did it happen, but also Yinzihua, her face was a little red, so happy, don't mention it.
The most surprising thing is the eldest lord and the eldest lady, they know that the old lady is extremely distancing, Mengxi entered the door only a few days, the second master is still sick, he wants to go out of the house, Yu Li is not agreeable, thinking that the old lady will refuse, so he sat there without saying a word, waiting to see the joke, listening to the old lady say this, the eldest lady finally did not pay attention, stood up Teng, after getting up, only remembered that it was a little overdistance, stabilized his body, stepped forward slowly, and said to the old lady:
"The old lady can't help it, the second grandmother has only been in the door for a few days, Jun'er is still sick, there is really no reason to go out of the house, the second grandmother wants to go out of the house to hang out, it is better to wait for some time, Jun'er's body has recovered, take her to play in person, the second grandmother is still young, I don't know anything, the old lady is not good, everything is messed around with her, messing up the rules"
